@BBUKLive: 11.04pm: Nikki: "I'm a legend, you never were." Helen and Nikki are having an argument. #BBUKLive Now we'll have to wait and see what this argument entails, but do you agree? |

In terms of Big Brother, it's pretty much a fact that Nikki Grahame is a legend and is arguably the face of the show.
Superfans can all name C5 era housemates as 'legends' if they wish cause they are in our small circle, but barely anyone else knows them, so yeah, they're not |

Nikki's in the right.
But let's be honest here, Aisleyne's ****s on both of them. |

It's been almost ten years and videos/gifs/vines of Nikki's stint in BB7 are still shared and talked about. She is culturally relevant, and arguably the most famous BB Housemate of all time. The only real comparison is Jade Goody, really.
I'm not a betting man but I very much doubt anyone (outside of Big Brother fans) will care or know who Helen Wood is in eight years.

I'd probably rank the most recognisable housemates, and therefore 'legends' as:
1) Nikki 2) Pete 3) Brian Belo 4) Brian Dowling And Jade would be first if we're going to include her. But I think that's it, to be honest. |

Yeah I'm not saying this because I dislike Helen and Love Nikki but Nikki is an actual legend and the face of big brother who so many would be able to name if you asked random people in the street. Helen is not on that level at all. The fact that people keep bringing up "Helen Won" doesn't mean a thing tbh. You don't have to win a series to become a legend. imo C4 housemates will always be better than C5 housemates tbh.

It's not necessarily about who is memorable, just whose name is most associated with the show. If you said Nikki, Pete (especially 'Nikki and Pete') or Brian's name to most people, I think they'd be able to tell you they were on Big Brother.

I considered putting Nick on the list but 15 years later I don't think many people would know who he is over people like Brian and Pete.
And outside of the Big Brother family I bet of the people who know who Nikki and Jade are, only half of them know Nadia. |

Grace is remembered, not a 'legend' though because people wouldn't associate the show with her

Nasty Nick getting booted out of Big Brother was MASSIVE. It was featured on all the news channels and he had to do a press conference with the media and he got treated like a serial killer. Trust me, Nick Bateman made Big Brother.

I think many people would come before Pete, who people would only recognise if the name was coupled with Nikki's.
And Brian Belo is several places down below the likes of Makosi, Nadia, Dowling etc. Even "Nasty Nick" would conjure up memories. Last edited by Marsh.; 25-06-2015 at 02:18 AM. |

I very much doubt anyone remembers who Makosi is, unfortunately. On the rare occasion that someone in real life talks to me about Big Brother and asks me what my favourite series is/who my favourite housemate is and I mention Makosi, every response is 'who?' and even then 'the series before Nikki and Pete with like Anthony, Maxwell, Derek, Kinga etc etc' just provokes a look of confusion. I genuinely think most people's memories of Big Brother doesn't stretch much further back than Big Brother 7, hence why most people remember Nikki and Pete, and why Brian Belo as the series following that is also well known. |

Oh actually, I'd put Chantelle on the list too. If only for being in a CBB series she's a very memorable housemate.

I'd say Josie Gibson is the last regular housemate to be put alongside housemates from the first 7 series. Even then it's probably because of the whole 'last ever' series giving the show one last boost in the media spotlight. As for Nasty Nick, I don't think you would need much of a memory to stretch 15 years ago to remember the daft scandal BB produced over cheating nasty nick. Even if he's not remembered as vividly as Nikki (who let's face it hasn't bogged off for more than 5 minutes at a time) he would still be remembered. Last edited by Marsh.; 25-06-2015 at 02:34 AM. |

Chantelle I agree with that
It's mad to think she auditioned to be in BB7(personally i couldn't see her in that series tbh) well it's not mad but you know what i mean, I'm too tired to explain
